Ab insidiis diaboli, libera nos, Domine.

[Jak Halcom]

The orbs would track their target as long as Jak was focused on him. Jak was about to abandon his technique when the pillars started to fall, but the Quincy had saved him from doing that by destroying them as well as potentially stalling his opponent. Noramlly he would be angry that someone interfered, but he would only direct his bolts and slam them into where his target was last seen since the pillar of fire was obscuring his vision. 

Jak felt like something was wrong. It was an odd feeling, like he was fighting the wrong people. He began questioning what he had been doing since the fighting started. It was as if two voices were in his head struggling for control over his body. His head felt like it was splitting apart. He clutched his head falling to his knees again. Why was this happening? Who were his allies, and what was he supposed to do?

[Jem Carstairs]

Jem’s plan was foiled, ducking back and landing on his left foot, right knee, and left hands skidding across the dirt as the pillars were destroyed. He jumped back and dove rolling onto his feet as orbs flew at the place he had been moments ago. Slamming into the ground and destroying it. Jem needed to get some distance, and so he turned and ran into the deeper parts of the Colloseum weaving through the pillars and deeper into the shadows of the relic of ancient Rome. As soon as he was far enough away that he would be a moderate distraction for the fallen, he slowed down and began to flux his energy at Jak to attempt to bait him.

Jak had shown little ability to resist a challenge to him, and James was sure this would be no different. Come on Fallen, You know you can’t resist me being here.” And at this distance should Jak come to fight him. It wouldn’t be a free for all brawl anymore, and with that Arrancar attacking the emperess, she would have to let down her guard to monitor this fight. As long as the other Arrancar could destroy the Wolf fallen and the Quincy Half Fallen, they would still win this. His com channel buzzed but he ignored it. He could tell from the buzz that it was Zachariah speaking and he didn’t want to hear what he had to say about his ignoring the rules. All he had to do now was wait for Jak to respond.

[Tsajara Dread]

Dread's brows furrowed slightly at the woman's response. More unusual in the fact that she had A, answered her question somewhat, and B, neglected to attack beside the fact that Dread had the woman ad potential cero-point. This seemed very....strange. She glanced from the woman to the individuals fighting with the woman's children. 

"You have guests and your first reaction is assuming we're here to take over? Not only that but you summoned your kids, and said nary a word to any of us. No offense but I smell bullshit." She noted, narrowing her eyes as she lightly moved her other hand, pointing the blade of her zanpaku'to to the floor. "But let us assume you aren't lying through your teeth young lady. What exactly is it you want from us hmmm? If what you said was rue, you'd be fine just driving us off, or some gesture that we wouldn't hurt your kids. But no you seemed pretty cool sicking your kids on us." She murmured as the hand behind the succubus's head would press down as she'd aim to grab the woman by the back of the head, despite that itching voice in the back of her head that told her it was a bad idea. 
"So then. Shall we stop this fight and negotiate? Or are you fine with being yanked into this little fight?" She inquired threateningly. 

She really hated having to discipline these young upstarts, especially given the fact that she felt much too old for this, though she certainly was not so weak as to be unable to. She was preemptively already gathering reiatsu for her release, having honestly wanted to avoid unleashing here in such an enclosed space, but well it was about to become a lot less open if she was forced to unleash and resurrect. But at the very least it would isolate this broad from her little children, and the small party that had invaded the colosseum. But well, you can't make omelets without breaking a few eggs.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora watched the Quincy woman change in front of her. She had no idea what kind of power this woman had to grow a second torso out of her back and facing behind her. She cocked her head to the side, wondering why this female would need to do this. Maybe she thought that she couldn't defeat her without powering up. That little thought made Aurora smile and growl low in her throat. She was definitely the type of person that liked to know her power was recognized in a way like that.

So, now her enemy could shoot in the front and behind. This would make the fight a bit more challenging for her, but she figured it was nothing that she couldn't handle. While she was standing there, staring at the Quincy woman, she saw that she was going to breathe fire in her direction. It was going fairly quickly, so she only had a few seconds to react. She held out her right hand and dropped to the ground, avoiding the fire. She quickly shot out a Bala at the woman's feet to see if she could unsteady her.

Remaining Reiatsu: 600/750 -50 for Bala

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Yet another few moments that these intruders chose to survive what a pity that none of them knew what they should really be doing was running away. The empress watched as her beautiful daughter revealed her true beauty to these individuals and displayed how much inferior they were to her. The boy that was fighting her new toy retreated from the attacks of her daughter yet the empress could feel that her control over the new half breed was failing. It seems she would need to concentrate more heavily on him to bend his mind to servitude that was however something she at the moment didn’t care about.

There was an annoyance by her that needed to be addressed. As the arrancar spoke the empress simply sat as if nothing was even going on. After she had finished speaking however and it was obvious that this arrancar was either going to threaten her to back off and leave or she would try her best to kill her. The empress simply smiled not even bothering to look at the arrancar. “You call me a girl young one. I’m flattered at the possibility, but my days of being an infant are long gone. Honestly I haven’t been known as young since the day that I choice to aware a good little servant with thirty pieces of silver for getting rid of some annoying loud mouth. Come to think of it I might just want to do that again right now.”

The empress instantly asserted her dominance and the Arrancar would drop to the ground her body laying flat against it unable to move for the weight of pressure was as if she was on the bottom of the ocean. “Now then instead I’ll make you a deal. You four have invaded my new home yet claim that I started things. Well at the moment my pet and my daughter are showing off what happens to invaders. Beat the both of them and you may survive.” The Arrancar would the feel the pressure release from her as she was allowed freedom once again.

The feline arrancar it seemed was still trying to survive and defeat the Quincy of Hell on her own such a pitiful attempt though. She had been successful in just barely dropping low enough so that the fire would pass above her head yet the bala that she fired off had made enough sound that the Quincy knew what was happening. Jumping to the side the monster of a girl fired off two arrows one from each side of her body. The first was aimed for the feet of the arrancar so that it would create a pillar of fire and incinerate her from below. The second was curving through the air right towards the strange boy who was hiding that had just come into her sight.

While all of this happened though none of the individuals were paying any attention to the true threat to what they call safety and peace. The hell spawn that had never stayed down and just kept getting stronger and stronger had absorbed the power of the wolf demon the last time anyone had paid attention. Now though that beast wasn’t even in the ancient battle ground. It was in the city killing the lives of humanity in silence.

[Jak Halcom]

Jak could feel the loss of life as the black wolf thing terrorized the people of Rome. That seemed to snap him out of whatever effects he was under and ran for the exit. He ran as fast as he could focusing on the nearest exit. He knew that he was in the middle of battle with someone, but he didn't care. His own sense of honor and duty told him that he could fight the man any time, those people were in danger now, and they could not defend themselves against the monster that was attacking them.

If the boy got in his way, or tried to attack him, Jak would use his step technique to dart forward and to the side of the individual. "Get out of my way!" He would shout to anyone in his path. He would quickly make his way up the stairs, and out of the Coliseum. He had to figure out where the thing was and stop it quickly. He stopped only long enough to catch his breath really quick and re-acquire where the best was. 

Jak ran out in the middle of the chaos that was the streets of Rome to where the thing was causing all sorts of havoc. Jak would gather an orb of energy in his hand and throw it at the thing to get it's attention. "Hey Asshole!" He shouted throwing it at the wolf thing's head. He didn't know how much damage it would do, but he was willing to take it down no matter what. He had to, for those that could not defend themselves. 

He always hated those that attacked those that could not defend themselves. It didn't matter if it was some street gang mugging some helpless couple, or spiritual beings like hollows doing what their instincts told them and devour anything they could. He would always step in and fight for the ones that couldn't. Usually it wasn't for defending them and doing the right thing because reasons, but because it was an excuse to fight. Now it felt slightly different. He felt obliged to fight it since he helped it get out and cause the damage.

[Jem Carstairs]

OOC: Taking some liberties here, because I came with my posse of NPC’s and it seems like the wolf would actually get away. It’s still going to be destroyed, though I have a feeling this is going to paint a target on my back. =_=

IC: Jem had expected nothing less from a fallen that attacked its comrades, it darted up and attempted to get past him. However a sliver of ice made him afraid, the wolf demon had escaped into the city. He would not let another do the same, the half demon stepped in a form that looked as if he was going to use a step technique. But no reiastu fueled the technique, in that moment of failure. James reverse round house kicked him. Still a little sloppy, and it was getting even more so as Jem began breathing harder from the exertion.

There were little cuts all over Jem’s face and hands and they showed muscle and flesh below but no blood was pouring out. But Jak had bigger problems, though he had screamed “outta my way!” he hadn’t spent any reiastu and before he could recover from the mistake Jem kicked him in the chest. His jacket, clothes, and skin had literally vanished from existence. This meant leaving Jak’s chest muscles and bones to take the brunt of the attack. He was going to fell this demon, or at least put it out of commission for…

Spiritual pressure greater than Jem could ever hope to match currently exploded across Rome in a golden pillar of light shining high into the sky, he looked up in horror at who was making that light. He was in so much trouble. The light magnified a voice, it was deep and full of emotion, but that emotion was fury. It was the Pillar of the Veil, Qualopec. The light exploded and a voice magnified spoke out to the spiritual beings of the city.

“I HAVE TESTED YOUR CONVICTION, AND I HAVE FOUND YOU WANTING!”

There was an explosion, and he couldn’t sense the fallen wolf creature’s sinister reiastu anymore. “Crap.” He muttered to himself, “I’m in so much trouble…” He turned to the half demon that was missing his facial muscles. “Leave this place, and never return. Leave this path of evil and never return. If you do so, you may yet live. The life of a half demon is not marked by their parents, but by their choice and conviction. If you wish to turn over to the side of light, look to this place.” And he threw down a card to Uzaki Enterprises.

Turning around, Jem quickly flung himself back into the fight. Dodging an arrow that was careening towards him now that he was back within range of the Quincy Fallen, and the Demoness . He shouted out a battle cry as he flung himself forward up onto the air, his reiastu was pushing out. “Leave this place, or else I’ll be forced to destroy you. Others are coming and even if I fail, they will not!” He landed in front of the Akki next to the Arrancar. Now was time for the final battle, it was time to put it all on the line.

Destruct Level 2: 4/5

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora watched as her Bala was heading towards the Quincy. Once the fire had passed over her head, he immediately jumped up, having her sword out and at the ready. But, sadly, the Quincy was able to avoid it. She should've known better, but she wanted to keep her options open. When the girl jumped over to the side and continued to glare at her, she knew that she needed to come up with something quickly. It was at about that time she felt something.

She looked over, trying to see outside of the Coliseum and to try to see what she was sensing. She felt a huge presence outside of the Coliseum and she quickly looked around and noticed that one of the demons was gone. It was the wolf demon that she had started out fighting was gone. So, it must be the one terrorizing outside of the Coliseum. Aurora honestly didn't care what was going on with the stupid humans outside. She was more concerned about her mission then those peons.

When Aurora noticed the arrow coming for her, she jumped to the left a few feet, hopefully missing the large pillar of fire that cropped up after the arrow landed. She made a mental note to avoid those from now on. It was then she heard talking going on to her left. She looked over and saw what looked like a human coming towards her. He avoided his arrow as well and landed on her left side. It seemed like she would be getting help from this man fighting this Quincy. She growled, ready to attack this crazy demon bitch.

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Well it seemed that things were spicing up quite a bit now that the pet of the Empress was out running freely. The half demon that she had taken as a toy was now outside of her grip and she had no further use for him at the moment. Who knows though after the others are dead she might spare him and keep him for her collection. It seemed right now that he had taken some type of damage from the other strange male that had been so focused on the others he overlooked the most dangerous of her pets.

Now her daughter in all of her beauty was going to face off against both the strange boy and the feline Arrancar. It certainly wasn’t the first time and nor would it be the last her daughter was very special and she would never go down without showing them all that they had so much to fear from her. They now both stood ready to fight, but now they were going to need everything to truly take down the demon Quincy. The Quincy began to move towards them yet she was spinning around and firing off arrows from both sides of her body right at them.

In less than three seconds she had turned around a total of four times and eight arrows were all flying in the direction of the Arrancar and the boy. However, they weren’t flying at the bodies no at the ground behind them and spread out perfectly aimed so that when contact was made all of the pillars of flame that would rise up would connect becoming a wall of flames right behind the two of them. As all of this happened the Quincy would stop using her technique once again breathing out a massive vortex of fire from her mouth. However, this time it was from both sides and she was still spinning. Over the next few seconds anything within fifty feet of the Quincy demon would find itself ablaze by the flames of the double vortex. How would the two of them react when they had a wall of fire behind them and anywhere they could step to would be caught in flames little more than a moment afterwards. “Good girl”

[Jak Halcom]

Jak struggled to his feet and made his way to the exit. He was in no condition to continue fighting, and it seemed the others had things under control. He made his way out of the coliseum no doubt scaring the shit out of the people that saw him walking through the streets. Jake made his way back to his hotel room to get some rest. An ambulance came for him, no doubt that someone called 911 about his chest. He was forced into the ambulance and to a hospital for his injuries.

[Aurora Guerrero]

Aurora was staring at this Quincy woman, seeing her change more and more flames being released from her body. She had never met anyone with a power like this. She shot out arrows, but she also had some kind of fire power. She had never encountered a Quincy before, much less one that looked like this. She cocked her head to the right side, trying to figure out how this power worked. It didn't make sense to her. The woman shot arrows, but now when the arrows landed, fire spewed out. She honestly didn't know of anything that had like two powers like this. It was crazy to her.

She then saw that the woman had grown, with two more torsos and was shooting arrows like crazy. This bitch was really starting to piss her off. She didn't know how much this woman had left in her, but she had to be reaching the end of her rope. She didn't want to stay here anymore or drag out this stupid fight. So, she glared at the woman, held her sword out and screamed out, "Destroy, Tigre ácido!" When she said that, her sword started to disappear and she during her roar, acid started to form over her as her armor started to form. Her skull fragment filled out, completing itself around her face and making her helmet.

Her gauntlets formed and her new knives were found in her belt, as well as her original sealed state zanpaktou. She growled at the woman and while she was standing there, acid started to drip off of her armor, sizzling on the ground. It started to melt the ground around her as she sized the Quincy up. She was definitely going to beat the shit out of this woman. She was avoiding the arrows as she was running towards the woman. When she was twenty feet away, she started to spin, letting the acid leak out of her in vast quantities. Once the tornado was taller than her, she spun towards the woman. She hoped that with this huge acid tornado would hit this woman and end it after all.

Remaining Reiatsu: 50/750 -400 for release, -150 for Tornado ácido Release: 1/6

[✠Asmoskon Masurao✠]

Well it seemed that this Arrancar feline was putting up more of a challenge toward her daughter then she would have expected. All of the fire was covering the majority of the area yet the feline was able to evade it. She had released into her true power and from what the empress could tell she held some ability that could be associated with acid. So she continued to watch as the Arrancar rushed towards her daughter who right now was reverting back out of the Saisei Oni form.

The acid tornado began to form in the next instant and the empress was slightly surprised by the size that it was and that the Arrancar had actually been able to create such a thing. Now as it moved towards the demon Quincy the girl took aim for her bow and fired off two different arrows right at it. The arrows flew through the tornado of acid yet were powerless to actually stop it from reaching her. The tornado of acid overwhelmed and carried away the Quincy.

It was a few moments and then the empress snapped her fingers and a small bit of fire could be seen inside the tornado or acid. The female Quincy suddenly was laying before the empress her body badly burnt while she lay unconscious. On the side of the empress though was the strange black masked creature that had been running throughout Rome killing a total of twenty normal humans.

"Well it seems that you have bested my daughter. For that I will allow you to live since you have proven at least a small deal of strength. For now you may claim victory and rejoice in survival. Farewell mortals." Just as she spoke a Hell gate appeared behind her and then with a nap of her fingers black chains sprung out from the fire of hell. Grabbing onto the Quincy and the black masked creature they both were puled back to the depths of fire while the empress walked through the gateway which then shut and disappeared.
